Hi

This is a basic problem with any setup using the Kantronics or similar 
boxes. There is no dedicated mark / space output to drive a scope. 
Older TU's like the ST-6 had this feature.  The KAM XL does not have 
this feature.

When I asked the Kantronics guys what they did about this at the Dayton 
Hamfest 10 years ago their answer was: "We use a sound card program on 
a PC to tune with" . I did not think that was a good answer then and do 
not think it's a good answer today. However it is what most people do.

	Take Care!
